Shoes, Revisited

I've done some more searching for shoes. I think I'm closer to deciding what I want than I was a few months ago. I am certain that I will order from Amazon. I'm a Prime member, so I get free 2-day shipping. Also, I get free returns.

That's a big deal for me. I can't seem to find any shoes in stores that I like but I'm terrified of buying shoes online (it's difficult for me to find shoes that fit!). So, since I can return things to Amazon for free if they don't fit, it eases my mind. Especially since I know that Amazon returns are super easy.

Anyway, that certainly narrowed my search (thankfully!). I limited my Amazon search to prime eligible, navy colored shoes made of man-made materials (no leather -- they have to be animal friendly). That still left a whole lot of options! Here are a few of my favorites:

These are super cute and fun looking. However, they have a 5 inch heel. That almost surely spells disaster for my walk down the aisle. ;) These are a fantastic deal at $16.00 a pair (wow!) but I'm thinking they're probably not right for me.

These are a lot like what I pictured. However, I'm concerned about the color. They say that they're navy, but if they are true to the color on my computer screen, they seem to be more royal blue... not what I want. These are a little more expensive, but still very reasonable at $34.50 a pair. These are definitely in the running.

These shoes are a little plain, but if I got these, I would jazz them up a bit with a pearl brooch (I plan to wear pearls, have a pearl tiara, and also have my BMs wear pearls!) on each shoe. These shoes are a little more expensive at $34.99. The brooches I found are on eBay for $2.85 a piece. So, the shoes still wouldn't be that expensive. These are also in the running!

These are really cute. These are something that I would normally wear (when I actually wear heels). I'm trying to decide if that is a good thing or not. I'm not sure if it's a good thing because I would be comfortable or if it's a bad thing because I should step outside the box for my wedding shoes. These shoes are great at $27.60 a pair.

I really like these shoes. Again, they're similar to something I would normally wear, but they've also got some cute, feminine touches (the bow!). They've also got just a little bit of bling. The heels are only 2 1/2 inches, too, so they shouldn't be too uncomfortable! And, these puppies are a steal at $21.38.

I love the navy shoes with the brooch, very classic style, and the pearls add a beautiful touch. The heel looks a little bit wider so it would help walking around the park & on the grassy areas (especially when it comes to photo time)

Can't find shoes in my size (10W or 11W depending on style), so I hope you don't mind that I'm "wrapping & decorating" a shoebox and I'll be clomping around decked out as such! *laughing*
